Saw that! Get the fuck in!

Ateod Longstaff is a regular in a team currently in second. He's doing something right

Ffs! Faffing around trying to get an offer on Prime and missed the first goal. Then the firestick was stuttering so I rebooted it to clear the cache and I missed the second goal!

Merry Christmas everyone. As others have said, this place has been a massive help to me, especially this year. Got to admit I'm glad the day is drawing to a close, today has been massively challenging. Im not sure I'll ever be able to really enjoy Christmas again if Im honest. Obviously I get some vicarious pleasure from the kids but that's honestly about it. Got to see my MIL tomorrow which I'm dreading because, well never mind, but then at least I have a good excuse to leave early for the match on TV. Then I'm basically home and dry for the rest of the holidays just to relax. Ah well, fingers crossed 2023 will a time to reformat and enjoy things, rather than just get through life which is what it feels to me now. Sorry for the gloomy post but cheers anyway!

Correct and that cretin Exile likes to boast it was however many thousand days ago like it's a good thing, when the only reason is because most that time they have been one or TWO divisions below us.

Of course just prior to the 6 in a row marra, we had beaten them 5 times in a row. A lot of people don't seem to know that because honestly it held no significance for us. You also hear some of the idiots saying if they are promoted they'll make it 7 in a row, seemingly oblivious to the fact the run has already been ended.

I love how the lad is struggling mentally and some of these mackem morons actually believe signing for Sunderland could help in this!

Ha! I knew it! You DO have a microwave.

It's so pathetic like. Also defining their club relative to ours again, the small time knackers.

Of course, bought to you by part of the Exile group. I'd love it if the actually adopted this as their badge.

Fucking hell man. I could only watch half of that, it's more cringe than David Brent. Who the fuck thought that putting a billionaire PM in a soup kitchen was good PR?

Off for a sea front walk now, have all day breakfast if I can find somewhere decent eating out in a local pub tomorrow, first time I've ever done that. But couldn't face the empty chairs here. Hopefully will be nice

I'll take a day off tomorrow.

Shoot the messenger all you like. A friend I know has a sick child who needs antibiotics and has tried 12 pharmacies without success. I've got mates in NHS BSA who are pretty worried about the current state and have been put on standby over xmas. On top of that we have all the strike action, the NHS is falling apart man. I'll resist saying its because of your government. But it is, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-63970339

Big story coming in the New year is the country is running out of antibiotics. People will probably die. Yes, it's a global issue but as usual government incompetence has made it worse than it should have been. Please don't have an accident or get ill this year folks.

I like this YouTube on deep time. Its quite long but worth watching. Projects into the future exponentially increasing as it goes on. Complete head fuck. If I'm honest, I always preferred the idea of the big crunch, but I think most cosmologists now believe the Universe will end in death entropy, the big freeze.

Fair point about the present and our interactions with each other. Of course you're not nothing to you, your loved ones, and further afield. But ultimately in the grand scheme of the Universe, you're inconsequential, and that's what we're talking about when we look at the stars or even more so galaxies like Andromeda PL mentioned. The Universe isn't just immense in spatial scale either - possibly even infinite - but also in terms of time. The concept of deep time is completely mindblowing when you study it. Even the age of stars is a fleeting moment in the history of the Universe. Anyway, as an atheist you have to come to terms with what death means honestly and truthfully, and that obviously becomes more pressing the older you get. Part of my coming to terms with mortality is just to accept my place in the scheme of things and not fear it. Somehow the night sky just helps in this, not sure why, just helps me somehow. We've all got our own coping mechanisms I guess, sentience is a double edged sword.

Well I doubt you'll ever find ne defending tory cunts either.

It's really not once you embrace it. You're young, you'll see. Also....

Ooh, I don't know how you've got the nerve considering the absolute loons you vote in in Northern Ireland.

It's weird, but throughout the shit I've been through and put myself through this year, I've actually found just looking out at the stars - or actually more often the planets with the light pollution - incredibly calming. Just accept it, you're nothing in the scheme of things, just realise this fact and make peace with your mortality and insignificance. You were nothing before you were born, you are nothing after you die, and you are really nothing now. I suppose that's a variation on the small blue dot, I'll give it away for free without copyright.

I know its Christmas and it'll keep but I'm going to post this now or I'll forget. This is a great thread with some great graphs. Thoroughly depressing though, obvs.

When they find her body under the patio, along with the taxi queue lasses, he'll blame it on his heartburn.

Basically yes, 1 a day for however long you need it, takes about 12 hours to take proper effect. Not sure about your shits so much, will probably help a bit, but I'd recommend eating more fibre for that .
